The long range charts have been trying to install a mega Russian block for
some time now. They tentatively put in place and then move it around, loose
their nerve, take it away, sneak it back in, revert to the norm. west flow,
move the lows around in a random merry-go-round and then seemingly shrug the
shoulders and just chuck a handful of mini lows across the entire North
Atlantic thereby covering all options. I have a feeling that Will hands
earlier post from a couple of months ago will edge back into the frame as it
looks to me as if for the first time for many a long year, there is at last
an uneasiness about the present set up. A potentially volatile situation
with Arctic air trundling southwards over warm waters. A deep unstable
airmass that could go ballistic at any moment. I sit with bated breath.

Hi Mike,

A very volatile situation at the moment with very low confidence forecasts
being issued it seems. It's not surprising looking at the range of solutions
from the ensembles.

Are you blaming the long-range-charts when you say that they lost their
nerve. I thought the LRF were a stab at predicting weather reality. They
don't shape or form weather reality. You make it sound as if weather reality
is formed/shaped by the LRF! Very odd.

It's all in the lap of the charts!

Well of course the charts form the weather. The more divergent the long
range charts, the less predictable the weather.
